Oladipo and MCW got a triple double in the same game against each other I remember. Both were rookies, too.

Shaq just referred to Embiid and Simmons as a 'young Shaq and Penny' and he referred to himself in the third person. Lol.

Man if Lonzo can fix his shoot, he'll be very good.

MCW and Oladipo were the first rookies to record a triple double in the same game. Took overtime, though.

Can be so much better by just being more selective with his shooting.

If he can fix it then even better, I just think that's going to be a while.

Third quarter is going to be key. Sixers net rating in the third is -7.1, Lakers are +5.1

I don't know, I guess it depends how you classify 3+D. Otto Porter and Trevor Ariza have to be pretty close. And then Klay and Oladipo might even fall under that category. It'd be a stretch to include KD or Kawhi I'm sure.

Isn’t Embiid much bigger than CWebb?

Edit nvm Reggie said the same thing. Weird comparison imo.

Tatums up there as well (so far).
Bet with Stillwater Celtics will finish 6th or higher in ECF Standings Regular Season(17-18). [WON]

Yeah, they corrected him. He may play like him, but he's bigger and better.
